If a portion of the double-shell tank has an insufficient thickness of the heat insulating layer, the heat insulating property of the portion deteriorates. Due to the deterioration of heat insulation, the cold heat of the inner tank is transmitted to the outer tank, which may cause frost on the outer tank and cause corrosion of the outer tank. Further, if the amount of heat input to the inner tank increases due to the deterioration of the heat insulating property, the amount of boil-off gas of the low-temperature liquid increases, and the pressure in the inner tank may become excessive.

Description

二重殻タンク及び船舶Double shell tanks and ships
　本発明は、外槽と内槽とを備える二重殻タンク及びそれを搭載した船舶の構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a double-shell tank including an outer tank and an inner tank, and a structure of a ship equipped with the double-shell tank.
　従来から、低温液体を貯蔵するタンクとして、二重殻タンクが知られている。二重殻タンクは、一般的に、低温液体を収容する内槽と、この内槽を所定の間隔を隔てて外側から覆う外槽と、内槽と外槽との間に形成された断熱層とを備える。断熱層は、例えば、内槽と外槽との間に充填された粒状断熱材で形成され、粒状断熱材としてはパーライトが使用される。 Conventionally, a double-shell tank has been known as a tank for storing a low-temperature liquid. A double-shell tank is generally an inner tank that houses a low-temperature liquid, an outer tank that covers the inner tank from the outside at a predetermined interval, and a heat insulating layer formed between the inner tank and the outer tank. And prepare. The heat insulating layer is formed of, for example, a granular heat insulating material filled between the inner tank and the outer tank, and pearlite is used as the granular heat insulating material.
　二重殻タンクの建造時に、内槽と外槽とが完成してから、内槽が空の状態で内槽と外槽との間を埋めるように粒状断熱材が充填される。そのため、内槽に低温液体が供給されて内槽が熱収縮すると、内槽と外槽との間隔が広がって、内槽と外槽との間に充填されている粒状断熱材が沈降する可能性がある。粒状断熱材が沈降した場合、二重殻タンクのタンク頂部に粒状断熱材の存在しない空間が生じ、タンク頂部の断熱層の厚さが低減する。なお、ここで「タンク頂部」とは、内槽の外側且つ外槽の内側の空間において、二重殻タンクの頂部に当たる部分をいう。二重殻タンクにおいて断熱層の厚さが不十分な箇所が生じると、その箇所の断熱性が低下する。断熱性の低下により、内槽の冷熱が外槽に伝わり、外槽に霜が付き、外槽の腐食を招くおそれがある。また、断熱性の低下により内槽への入熱量が増加すると、低温液体のボイルオフガス量が増加し、内槽の圧力が過剰となるおそれがある。 At the time of construction of the double shell tank, after the inner tank and the outer tank are completed, the granular heat insulating material is filled so as to fill the space between the inner tank and the outer tank with the inner tank empty. Therefore, when a low-temperature liquid is supplied to the inner tank and the inner tank heat shrinks, the distance between the inner tank and the outer tank widens, and the granular heat insulating material filled between the inner tank and the outer tank can settle. There is sex. When the granular heat insulating material is settled, a space where the granular heat insulating material does not exist is created at the top of the double-shell tank, and the thickness of the heat insulating layer at the top of the tank is reduced. Here, the "tank top" means a portion corresponding to the top of the double-shell tank in the space outside the inner tank and inside the outer tank. If a portion of the double-shell tank has an insufficient thickness of the heat insulating layer, the heat insulating property of the portion deteriorates. Due to the deterioration of heat insulation, the cold heat of the inner tank is transmitted to the outer tank, which may cause frost on the outer tank and cause corrosion of the outer tank. Further, if the amount of heat input to the inner tank increases due to the deterioration of the heat insulating property, the amount of boil-off gas of the low-temperature liquid increases, and the pressure in the inner tank may become excessive.
　そこで、特許文献１の二重殻タンクでは、内槽の半径方向に伸縮可能な伸縮材（グラスウール）で形成された内側の断熱層と、充填材（パーライト）で形成された外側の断熱層との内外二層からなる断熱層を備える。この二重殻タンクでは、内槽の熱収縮によって断熱層に生じる隙間が膨張した伸縮材によって充たされ、充填材の沈降が抑制される。 Therefore, in the double-shell tank of Patent Document 1, an inner heat insulating layer made of an elastic material (glass wool) that can be expanded and contracted in the radial direction of the inner tank and an outer heat insulating layer made of a filler (pearlite) are used. It has a heat insulating layer consisting of two layers, inside and outside. In this double-shell tank, the gap generated in the heat insulating layer due to the heat shrinkage of the inner tank is filled with the expanded elastic material, and the sedimentation of the filler is suppressed.

　本発明は以上の事情に鑑みてされたものであり、その目的は、特許文献１の二重殻タンクと異なるアアプローチから、内槽の収縮変形に起因して粒状断熱材が沈降した後もタンク頂部に適切な厚さの断熱層を保持することの可能な二重殻タンク及びそれを搭載した船舶を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to approach even after the granular heat insulating material has settled due to shrinkage deformation of the inner tank from an approach different from that of the double shell tank of Patent Document 1. It is an object of the present invention to provide a double-shell tank capable of holding a heat insulating layer having an appropriate thickness at the top of the tank and a ship equipped with the double-shell tank.

ここで、前記外槽の中心が前記内槽の中心よりも上方に位置していてよい。或いは、前記外槽及び前記内槽の各々は、下半球殻部と、上半球殻部と、前記下半球殻部と前記上半球殻部とを繋ぐ筒形状の胴部とからなり、前記外槽の前記胴部の高さは前記内槽の前記胴部の高さよりも大きくてよい。 The double shell tank according to one aspect of the present invention is
A non-true spherical hollow shell-shaped inner tank with a storage section inside,
The outer tank that covers the inner tank and
A granular heat insulating material that is filled in the space surrounded by the outer wall of the inner tank and the inner wall of the outer tank to form a heat insulating layer is provided.
The size of the top gap between the inner tank and the outer tank during emptying is larger than the size of the bottom gap between the inner tank and the outer tank, and the granular heat insulating material in the top gap during emptying The thickness is characterized by being larger than the size of the bottom gap.
Here, the center of the outer tank may be located above the center of the inner tank. Alternatively, each of the outer tank and the inner tank is composed of a lower hemisphere shell portion, an upper hemisphere shell portion, and a tubular body portion connecting the lower hemisphere shell portion and the upper hemisphere shell portion. The height of the body of the tank may be higher than the height of the body of the inner tank.
　上記二重殻タンクにおいて、空載時における前記頂部隙間の大きさは、前記底部隙間の大きさに、前記内槽の収縮変形に伴う前記粒状断熱材の沈降により生じる空隙の体積に相当する体積分の前記外槽の頂部からの高さを加えた値以上であることが望ましい。 In the double shell tank, the size of the top gap at the time of emptying corresponds to the size of the bottom gap and the volume of the void generated by the sedimentation of the granular heat insulating material due to the shrinkage deformation of the inner tank. It is desirable that the value is equal to or greater than the value obtained by adding the height from the top of the outer tank.
　また、本発明の一態様に係る船舶は、上記構成の二重殻タンクを搭載している。 Further, the ship according to one aspect of the present invention is equipped with a double-shell tank having the above configuration.
　上記二重殻タンク及びそれを搭載した船舶では、二重殻タンクの頂部隙間の大きさが底部隙間の大きさよりも大きいことから、空載時においてタンク頂部にタンク底部よりも厚い断熱層を形成し得る。そして、二重殻タンクの空載時における頂部隙間の粒状断熱材の厚さは底部隙間の大きさよりも大きいことから、内槽に低温液体が供給されて内槽が収縮すると、内槽と外槽との隙間が広がって、内槽と外槽との間に充填されている粒状断熱材が沈降するが、粒状断熱材が沈降した状態においても、タンク頂部に十分な厚さの断熱層が保持される。 In the above double-shell tank and ships equipped with it, the size of the top gap of the double-shell tank is larger than the size of the bottom gap, so that a heat insulating layer thicker than the bottom of the tank is formed on the top of the tank when empty. Can be. Since the thickness of the granular heat insulating material in the top gap when the double shell tank is empty is larger than the size of the bottom gap, when the low temperature liquid is supplied to the inner tank and the inner tank shrinks, the inner tank and the outer tank are closed. The gap between the tank and the tank widens, and the granular heat insulating material filled between the inner tank and the outer tank sinks. Be retained.

Inside the inner tank 2, a storage unit 20 for storing the low temperature liquid 7 in a closed state is formed. The inner tank 2 can tolerate shrinkage deformation and deformation recovery due to the temperature difference between the normal temperature at the time of tank construction and the low temperature at the time of accommodating the low temperature liquid 7.
　外槽３は、内槽２よりも一回り大きい非真球形の中空殻形状を呈し、例えば、多数の鋼板が溶接されて成る。内槽２は、内槽２の外壁と外槽３の内壁との間を接続する図示されないロッド等によって、外槽３に支持される。 The outer tank 3 has a non-spherical hollow shell shape that is one size larger than the inner tank 2, and is formed by welding, for example, a large number of steel plates. The inner tank 2 is supported by the outer tank 3 by a rod or the like (not shown) connecting between the outer wall of the inner tank 2 and the inner wall of the outer tank 3.
　図２に示す二重殻タンク１Ａでは、内槽２は水平方向へ伸長した中空球殻形状を呈する。内槽２は、水平方向に延びる円筒状の胴部２７と、胴部の両端を閉塞する半球状の側部２８とからなる。内槽２の船長方向と平行な断面は水平方向を長手方向とする長円形（角丸長方形とも称する）を呈し、内槽２の船幅方向と平行な断面は円形を呈する。但し、内槽２の船幅方向と平行な断面が水平方向を長手方向とする長円形を呈し、内槽２の船長方向と平行な断面が円形を呈していてもよい。 In the double shell tank 1A shown in FIG. 2, the inner tank 2 exhibits a hollow spherical shell shape extending in the horizontal direction. The inner tank 2 includes a cylindrical body portion 27 extending in the horizontal direction and a hemispherical side portion 28 that closes both ends of the body portion. The cross section of the inner tank 2 parallel to the ship length direction has an oval shape (also referred to as a rounded rectangle) with the horizontal direction as the longitudinal direction, and the cross section parallel to the ship width direction of the inner tank 2 has a circular shape. However, the cross section parallel to the ship width direction of the inner tank 2 may have an oval shape with the horizontal direction as the longitudinal direction, and the cross section parallel to the ship length direction of the inner tank 2 may have a circular shape.
　外槽３は、内槽２と同様に、水平方向へ伸長した中空球殻形状を呈する。外槽３は、軸心方向を水平方向する略円筒状の胴部３７と、胴部の両端を閉塞する略半球状の側部３８とからなる。外槽３の船長方向と平行な断面は水平方向を長手方向とする略長円形を呈し、外槽３の船幅方向と平行な断面は上下方向を長手方向とする長円形を呈する。但し、外槽３の船幅方向と平行な断面が水平方向を長手方向とする略長円形を呈し、外槽３の船長方向と平行な断面が上下方向を長手方向とする長円形を呈していてもよい。外槽３の胴部３７の直径は内槽２の胴部２７の直径よりも大きい。外槽３の中心３ｃは、内槽２の中心２ｃよりも上方に位置する。 The outer tank 3 has a hollow spherical shell shape extending in the horizontal direction, similarly to the inner tank 2. The outer tank 3 includes a substantially cylindrical body portion 37 that is horizontally oriented in the axial direction, and a substantially hemispherical side portion 38 that closes both ends of the body portion. The cross section parallel to the ship length direction of the outer tank 3 has a substantially oval shape with the horizontal direction as the longitudinal direction, and the cross section parallel to the ship width direction of the outer tank 3 has an oval shape with the vertical direction as the longitudinal direction. However, the cross section parallel to the ship width direction of the outer tank 3 has a substantially oval shape with the horizontal direction as the longitudinal direction, and the cross section parallel to the ship length direction of the outer tank 3 has an oval shape with the vertical direction as the longitudinal direction. You may. The diameter of the body 37 of the outer tank 3 is larger than the diameter of the body 27 of the inner tank 2. The center 3c of the outer tank 3 is located above the center 2c of the inner tank 2.
　粒状断熱材４は、内槽２の外壁及び外槽３の内壁によって囲まれた空間に圧密状態で充填されている。粒状断熱材４は、例えば、粒状のパーライトである。但し、粒状断熱材４は、パーライト以外の公知の粒状断熱材が採用されてよい。また、内槽２の外壁及び外槽３の内壁によって囲まれた空間に、グラスウールなどの繊維状断熱材が部分的に配置されていてもよい。 The granular heat insulating material 4 is packed in a compact state in the space surrounded by the outer wall of the inner tank 2 and the inner wall of the outer tank 3. The granular heat insulating material 4 is, for example, granular pearlite. However, as the granular heat insulating material 4, a known granular heat insulating material other than pearlite may be adopted. Further, a fibrous heat insulating material such as glass wool may be partially arranged in a space surrounded by the outer wall of the inner tank 2 and the inner wall of the outer tank 3.
　内槽２と外槽３との間の空間は、真空ポンプ６によって強制排気され、ほぼ真空状態とされている。このように粒状断熱材４が充填された空間がほぼ真空状態とされることで、断熱効果が更に高められている。但し、内槽２と外槽３との間の空間は、必ずしも真空状態である必要はなく、貯蔵部２０に貯蔵される低温液体７の性状に応じて気体が充填されていてもよい。 The space between the inner tank 2 and the outer tank 3 is forcibly exhausted by the vacuum pump 6 and is almost in a vacuum state. By making the space filled with the granular heat insulating material 4 into a substantially vacuum state in this way, the heat insulating effect is further enhanced. However, the space between the inner tank 2 and the outer tank 3 does not necessarily have to be in a vacuum state, and may be filled with gas according to the properties of the low temperature liquid 7 stored in the storage unit 20.
　外槽３の中心３ｃを通る鉛直線と、内槽２の中心２ｃを通る鉛直線とは、二重殻タンク１Ａのタンク中心線Ｃと一致する。タンク底部において、タンク中心線Ｃ上における外槽３の内壁と内槽２の外壁との隙間を「底部隙間Ｇ１」と称する。また、タンク頂部において、タンク中心線Ｃ上における外槽３の内壁と内槽２の外壁との隙間を「頂部隙間Ｇ２」と称する。なお、この明細書において「タンク頂部」とは、内槽２の外側且つ外槽３の内側の空間において、二重殻タンク１Ａの頂部に当たる部分をいう。また、この明細書において、「タンク底部」とは、内槽２の外側且つ外槽３の内側の空間において、二重殻タンク１Ａの底部に当たる部分をいう。 The vertical line passing through the center 3c of the outer tank 3 and the vertical line passing through the center 2c of the inner tank 2 coincide with the tank center line C of the double-shell tank 1A. At the bottom of the tank, the gap between the inner wall of the outer tank 3 and the outer wall of the inner tank 2 on the tank center line C is referred to as "bottom gap G1". Further, at the top of the tank, the gap between the inner wall of the outer tank 3 and the outer wall of the inner tank 2 on the tank center line C is referred to as "top gap G2". In this specification, the "tank top" means a portion corresponding to the top of the double shell tank 1A in the space outside the inner tank 2 and inside the outer tank 3. Further, in this specification, the “tank bottom” refers to a portion corresponding to the bottom of the double shell tank 1A in the space outside the inner tank 2 and inside the outer tank 3.
　本実施形態に係る二重殻タンク１Ａでは、底部隙間Ｇ１よりも頂部隙間Ｇ２が大きくなるように、内槽２と外槽３とが配置されている。 In the double shell tank 1A according to the present embodiment, the inner tank 2 and the outer tank 3 are arranged so that the top gap G2 is larger than the bottom gap G1.
　内槽２に低温液体７が収容されると内槽２は収縮変形し、これに伴って粒状断熱材４が沈降し、タンク頂部に空隙が生じる。空載時（図２）のタンク頂部の空隙の体積と、満載時（図３）のタンク頂部の空隙の体積との差を空隙体積ΔＶとする。空隙体積ΔＶは、計算やシミュレーションにより求めることができる。なお、空載時とは、内槽２の貯蔵部２０が空の状態（図２）のときのことであり、積み荷が空（又は、空と見做せる液位）であるときや、製造されたときが該当する。また、満載時とは、内槽２の貯蔵部２０に低温液体７が所定の満載液位まで収容された状態（図３）のときのことである。タンク頂部から空隙体積ΔＶに相当する体積分の高さをΔＬとする。高さΔＬは、外槽３の形状等の情報を利用して計算によって求めることができる。空載時の頂部隙間Ｇ２の大きさＬ２は、底部隙間Ｇ１の大きさＬ１に、タンク頂部から空隙体積ΔＶに相当する体積分の高さΔＬを加えた値以上である。空載時の頂部隙間Ｇ２の大きさＬ２と、底部隙間Ｇ１の大きさＬ１と、高さΔＬとの間には、次式１が成立する。
Ｌ２＞Ｌ１＋ΔＬ・・・（式１）
空載時の頂部隙間Ｇ２の大きさＬ２が過剰となると経済的ではないことから、空載時の頂部隙間Ｇ２の大きさＬ２は上記式１を満足するうち小さい値であることが望ましい。 When the low temperature liquid 7 is housed in the inner tank 2, the inner tank 2 is contracted and deformed, and the granular heat insulating material 4 is settled accordingly, and a gap is generated at the top of the tank. The difference between the volume of the void at the top of the tank when empty (FIG. 2) and the volume of the void at the top of the tank when fully loaded (FIG. 3) is defined as the void volume ΔV. The void volume ΔV can be obtained by calculation or simulation. The empty loading is when the storage portion 20 of the inner tank 2 is empty (FIG. 2), and when the cargo is empty (or the liquid level which can be regarded as empty), or when the product is manufactured. Applicable when it is done. Further, the full load is a state in which the low temperature liquid 7 is stored in the storage section 20 of the inner tank 2 to a predetermined full load level (FIG. 3). Let ΔL be the height corresponding to the void volume ΔV from the top of the tank. The height ΔL can be obtained by calculation using information such as the shape of the outer tank 3. The size L2 of the top gap G2 at the time of emptying is equal to or larger than the value L1 of the size L1 of the bottom gap G1 plus the height ΔL corresponding to the volume of the void volume ΔV from the top of the tank. The following equation 1 is established between the size L2 of the top gap G2 at the time of empty loading, the size L1 of the bottom gap G1, and the height ΔL.
L2> L1 + ΔL ... (Equation 1)
Since it is not economical if the size L2 of the top gap G2 at the time of empty loading becomes excessive, it is desirable that the size L2 of the top gap G2 at the time of empty loading is a small value while satisfying the above equation 1.
　そして、空載時における頂部隙間Ｇ２の粒状断熱材４の厚さは、底部隙間Ｇ１の大きさＬ１よりも大きい。望ましくは、満載時における頂部隙間Ｇ２の粒状断熱材４の厚さが、底部隙間Ｇ１の粒状断熱材４の厚さ以上である。なお、空載時における頂部隙間Ｇ２は、粒状断熱材４で埋められていてもよい。 Then, the thickness of the granular heat insulating material 4 of the top gap G2 at the time of empty loading is larger than the size L1 of the bottom gap G1. Desirably, the thickness of the granular heat insulating material 4 in the top gap G2 at the time of full loading is equal to or larger than the thickness of the granular heat insulating material 4 in the bottom gap G1. The top gap G2 at the time of empty loading may be filled with the granular heat insulating material 4.
　以上に説明した通り、本実施形態に係る二重殻タンク１Ａは、貯蔵部２０が内部に形成された中空殻形状の内槽２と、内槽２を覆う外槽３と、内槽２の外壁及び外槽３の内壁によって囲まれた空間に充填されて断熱層を形成する断熱材（本実施形態では粒状断熱材４）とを、備える。そして、空載時の内槽２と外槽３との頂部隙間Ｇ２の大きさが、内槽２と外槽３との底部隙間Ｇ１の大きさよりも大きい。 As described above, in the double shell tank 1A according to the present embodiment, the inner tank 2 having a hollow shell shape in which the storage portion 20 is formed, the outer tank 3 covering the inner tank 2, and the inner tank 2 A heat insulating material (granular heat insulating material 4 in the present embodiment) that is filled in the space surrounded by the outer wall and the inner wall of the outer tank 3 to form a heat insulating layer is provided. The size of the top gap G2 between the inner tank 2 and the outer tank 3 at the time of empty loading is larger than the size of the bottom gap G1 between the inner tank 2 and the outer tank 3.
　ここで、空載時における頂部隙間Ｇ２の粒状断熱材４の厚さは、底部隙間Ｇ１の大きさＬ１よりも大きいことが望ましい。更に、空載時における頂部隙間Ｇ２の大きさＬ２は、底部隙間Ｇ１の大きさＬ１に、内槽２の収縮変形に伴う粒状断熱材４の沈降により生じる空隙の体積（空隙体積ΔＶ）に相当する体積分の外槽３の頂部からの高さΔＬを加えた値以上であることが望ましい。 Here, it is desirable that the thickness of the granular heat insulating material 4 of the top gap G2 at the time of empty loading is larger than the size L1 of the bottom gap G1. Further, the size L2 of the top gap G2 at the time of emptying corresponds to the size L1 of the bottom gap G1 and the volume of the gap (void volume ΔV) generated by the sedimentation of the granular heat insulating material 4 due to the shrinkage deformation of the inner tank 2. It is desirable that the value is equal to or more than the value obtained by adding the height ΔL from the top of the outer tank 3 for the volume to be used.
　上記構成の二重殻タンク１Ａでは、空載時において、タンク頂部にタンク底部よりも厚い断熱層が形成されている（図２、参照）。そして、内槽２に低温液体７が供給されて内槽２が収縮すると、内槽２と外槽３との隙間が広がって、内槽２と外槽３との間に充填されている粒状断熱材４が沈降するが、粒状断熱材４が沈降した状態においても、タンク頂部に十分な厚さＬ２’の断熱層が保持される（図３、参照）。 In the double-shell tank 1A having the above configuration, a heat insulating layer thicker than the bottom of the tank is formed at the top of the tank when it is empty (see FIG. 2). Then, when the low temperature liquid 7 is supplied to the inner tank 2 and the inner tank 2 contracts, the gap between the inner tank 2 and the outer tank 3 widens, and the granules filled between the inner tank 2 and the outer tank 3 are filled. Although the heat insulating material 4 is settled, a heat insulating layer having a sufficient thickness L2'is maintained at the top of the tank even when the granular heat insulating material 4 is settled (see FIG. 3).
　このように、本実施形態に係る二重殻タンク１Ａによれば、内槽２の収縮変形に起因して粒状断熱材４が沈降した後もタンク頂部に適切な厚さＬ２’の断熱層を保持することができる。 As described above, according to the double-shell tank 1A according to the present embodiment, a heat insulating layer having an appropriate thickness L2'is provided on the top of the tank even after the granular heat insulating material 4 has settled due to the shrinkage deformation of the inner tank 2. Can be retained.

　また、二重殻タンク１Ｂにおいて、外槽３は上下方向へ伸長した中空球殻形状を呈する。外槽３は、下半球殻部３１と、上半球殻部３２と、下半球殻部３１と上半球殻部３２とを上下方向に繋ぐ筒形状の胴部３３とからなる。下半球殻部３１、上半球殻部３２、及び胴部３３の直径は等しく、その値は内槽２の直径よりも大きい。そして、外槽３の胴部３３の高さは内槽２の胴部２３の高さよりも大きい。内槽２と外槽３とは、内槽２の下半球殻部２１の中心２１ｃと外槽３の下半球殻部３１の中心３１ｃとが一致するように配置されている。 Further, in the double shell tank 1B, the outer tank 3 exhibits a hollow spherical shell shape extending in the vertical direction. The outer tank 3 includes a lower hemisphere shell portion 31, an upper hemisphere shell portion 32, and a tubular body portion 33 that connects the lower hemisphere shell portion 31 and the upper hemisphere shell portion 32 in the vertical direction.
